The Glass Hair Trend: How to Achieve a Smooth & Shiny Finish

Put simply, the glass hair trend is a movement that champions shiny, smooth, healthy hair. The trend started in skincare with glass skin, and has taken the haircare world by storm as a style that looks great on everyone. Glass hair is characterized by an ultra glossy look that helps the hair to reflect light, enhancing a glass-like shine. Curious how to get shiny hair that’s smooth, polished and frizz-free? It’s all about healthy hair coupled with the right treatments, products and styling techniques—that’s where Cezanne steps in. 

What is the Glass Hair Trend?

Whether you’re rocking this look with a blunt cut, soft layers or your natural texture, this style is centered around creating a glass-like shine, giving hair an almost liquid-like appearance. Since the secret to getting the look starts with healthy, hydrated hair, you’ve got to begin by asking for the right services in the salon alongside the targeted styling techniques and products to enhance it. For best results, start with a Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment.

Styling Tips for a Glass-Like Finish:

1. Enhance The Health of Your Hair

While glass hair starts in the salon with a Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment, it continues at home with aftercare. Things like washing your hair too frequently can strip strands of their natural oils, so aim to shampoo only when necessary. And when you do, use a moisture-rich shampoo and conditioner like Cezanne Perfect Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner. Not only will it enhance the longevity of your Cezanne Smoothing Treatment, the paraben and phthalate-free formula is color-safe, which will keep strands hydrated, smooth and frizz-free.

Or, if you’re pairing glass hair with your natural texture pattern, swap this duo for Revive Curl Shampoo & Conditioner, a daily shampoo and conditioner that cleanses wavy and curly hair while protecting your treatment and delivering soft, touchable, shiny curls. 

For those with blonde hair, utilizing the Ultimate Blonde Shampoo & Conditioner helps extend the life of your treatment while also cutting down on brassiness to ensure your shade stays cooler for longer. 


With keratin included in each one of our haircare formulations, everything from our shampoos to styling products are designed to add strength and a healthy finish — making them ideal for every hair type and texture whether you have a Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment or not.

2. Protect Your Strands 

Before using any hot tools, always apply a heat protectant to prevent damage and ensure a shiny finish. To streamline your routine, reach for the Cezanne Leave-In Perfector Spray. This multi-tasking formula offers amazing benefits that include adding shine, smoothness, moisture and repair while also protecting the hair from heat damage. Adding this to your routine is essential to achieving glass hair and maintaining it.

3. Enhance Your Shine

A blow-dry followed by smoothing hair with a flat iron is one of the most popular ways to get silky-smooth glass hair. And Cezanne Silky Nourishing Oil is the ideal way to protect hair from heat and add a finishing touch of shine in an instant. This lightweight serum contains Argan Oil, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Vitamins C & B and is expert at reducing frizz. Apply to hair prior to styling for heat protection up to 410°F and again on your finished style to lock out humidity and enhance the Signature Cezanne shine.

 


Extra Tips for a Glass-Like Shine

  • Swap your Terry cloth for a microfiber towel to dry hair gently and reduce frizz.

  • Sleep on a silk pillowcase to minimize breakage and maintain smoothness.

  • Avoid excessive washing—every 2–3 days is ideal to preserve natural oils.

  • Cezanne care products are all formulated with Keratin to maintain the results of your keratin smoothing treatment and prevent dryness. Choose from Cezanne Perfect Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner to replenish moisture and protect, Revive Curl Shampoo & Conditioner to cleanse wavy and curl hair to enhance soft, touchable curls, or Ultimate Blonde Shampoo & Conditioner to replenish moisture and provide targeted care for blondes by neutralizing brassy tones and delivering a cool blonde finish. 

  • Keep styling to a minimum—let your hair air-dry partially before using heat tools and always protect with heat protectants like Cezanne Leave-In Perfector Spray and Cezanne Silky Nourishing Oil.
